A Month to Remember: September 2023

I love you, September- I really, truly and sincerely do! You are the gateway from my beloved hot and hazy days of Summer to my absolute favorite crisp and brisk Autumn nights.

Pre-Flight Check-In…

This week is a busy one for me, with working my full-time job, tying up some loose ends, running last minute errands and carefully packing for my upcoming three-week stay in Southern California. Given how long I’m going to be gone and how far from home I’ll be- I want to make sure I don’t […]

Local Loves: Wells Provisions

This installment of ‘Local Loves’ is going to be a bit different than past posts. While I designate these (usually) New England-based spotlights on various businesses, attractions and oddities that can actively be visited/explored and experienced- this week’s travel/dining guide is serving more as a tribute to a place that I absolutely adore that recently […]

Early Fall Traditions, and Doughnuts…

As a New Englander, there are a few early-September traditions and “must-dos” that I truly cherish and look forward to every year. Stopping by the annual Seafood Festival in New Hampshire is a big one, for sure (and that’s happening next weekend!) along with having one final cookout for Labor Day Weekend- which I’ll be […]

Fall Foodie: Sweet Potato Gnocchi in Herbed White Wine Sauce

Happy September, everyone! Sure, it’s still 86 degrees outside and yeah, there’s like four tropical storms brewing out in the Atlantic as I type this- but September 1st has always been (and will forever be) the start of the season for me and many other Autumnal Enthusiasts I know. I figured what better way to […]
